Evening gown with cape, 1927

Left pattern: Cape in black taffeta with a high collar, and a straight body that flares out at the hips.

Right pattern: Sleeveless dress in red taffeta with a low scooped neckline, straight underskirt, and an unfitted bodice that extends past the waist at the front but rises over the hips. Overskirt flares out at the hips, and hemline is uneven with a longer hem in the back. Accessorized with an oversized white flower attached at the right shoulder.
